ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR DIAGNOSTIC OF MINERAL COMPOSITION IN BENTONITE CLAY

Abstract

Clay minerals identification is one of the most difficult tasks in mineralogy due to high dispersion of clay particles. This article is devoted to the basic analytical methods for clay minerals diagnostic inthe context of bentonite clay. The possible ways of interpretation of the quantitative chemical, X-ray and thermal analyzes are described.
